    :( it was most likely "serviced" using tools from this set....

    Totally agree, that´s one gorgeous watch.

    I´ve been kind of half talking myself around to accepting the damaged dial/relative high cost/importation issues that come with this one due to its attractiveness and uncommoniness, but I guess I´m just not committed enough. If it was local however I would be all over it provided I could get it for a much better price.

    That's an insanely rare watch, but once again, what a shame! Can only hope the damage isn't as noticable when the hands are on...

    Is it me or does that Omega symbol looks like it was done on Sesame Street?

    That watchmaker probably knows what it feels like to be Joan Rivers' endoscopist right about now

    what happened to the raised omega ? uneven? removed before? or just the angle of light? and I think it can be fixed, if not too deep. try out very carefully with one of these glasfibre pens....... kind regards. achim

    That's a nasty one. My constellation has suffered a similar fate unfortunately - between 4 and 5 o'clock. Only visible in certain lighting conditions but it still bugs me! DSCF5760.JPG

    what is sad is there is a dial protector to be placed when removing the hands. Costs only a few bucks and would have saved this dial... Anyone else notice the word Omega is all weird
